The term "loved" encompasses God's love for humanity, the love believers are to have for God, and the love they are to show one another. God's Love for Humanity The Bible consistently affirms that God is love (1 <a href="/john/4-8.htm">John 4:8</a>). This divine love is most profoundly demonstrated in the sacrificial act of Jesus Christ. <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a> declares, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." This verse encapsulates the depth and breadth of God's love, emphasizing its universal scope and redemptive purpose. In the Old Testament, God's love is often described in terms of His covenantal faithfulness. <a href="/deuteronomy/7-9.htm">Deuteronomy 7:9</a> states, "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments." Here, God's love is linked to His promises and His enduring commitment to His people. The Love of Believers for God The appropriate response to God's love is love in return. The Shema, found in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-5.htm">Deuteronomy 6:5</a> , commands, "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." This commandment is reiterated by Jesus in the New Testament as the greatest commandment (<a href="/matthew/22-37.htm">Matthew 22:37-38</a>). Loving God involves obedience to His commandments, as Jesus states in <a href="/john/14-15.htm">John 14:15</a> , "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." This love is not merely emotional but is demonstrated through faithful action and devotion. Love Among Believers The love that believers are to have for one another is a reflection of God's love for them. Jesus commands His disciples in <a href="/john/13-34.htm">John 13:34-35</a> , "A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another." This love is to be selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional, mirroring the love of Christ. The Apostle Paul further elaborates on the nature of love in <a href="/bsb/1_corinthians/13.htm">1 Corinthians 13</a>, often referred to as the "Love Chapter." Here, love is described as patient, kind, and enduring, among other attributes. Paul emphasizes that love is the greatest of all virtues (<a href="/1_corinthians/13-13.htm">1 Corinthians 13:13</a>). The Transformative Power of Love The love of God, when received and reciprocated, has a transformative effect on the believer. <a href="/romans/5-5.htm">Romans 5:5</a> states, "And hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." This indwelling love empowers believers to live in a manner that reflects God's character and to extend His love to others. In summary, the concept of being "loved" in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing God's eternal love for humanity, the reciprocal love of believers for God, and the love they are to show one another. This divine love is foundational to the Christian life and is the ultimate expression of God's nature and His relationship with His creation.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Love.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/27.htm">27. agapetos -- beloved</a> ... beloved.
